Franklinville Area Chamber of Commerce

The next Chamber Meeting will be February 3rd at 7:00 PM at the Franklinville Town Hall, keeping the 1st Wednesday of each month schedule.

The Membership forms have gone out. The annual dues for our chamber are very reasonable,  and the Civic Membership (non-business) is something many chambers do not  have.  Naturally, we encourage ALL business owners in the area to join, and participate in our efforts to improve the economic outlook of our area. Our Civic members live, work and shop in our area, and deserve a voice in the chamber.

We want to hear your thoughts on improving our chamber, and our community.

The 2009 Derby was sponsored by the Franklinville Area Chamber of Commerce, and it turned into a BEAUTIFUL day with lots of sunshine and GOOD FISHING.

Not everyone hooked their fish, but a good time seemed to be had by all. One photo made it into the Olean Times Herald, and the Mercury Gazette and the Sardinia Sentinal both had articles articles.

This year we hope to have as mony participants, if not more.  One more thing - we ARE going to give  TIM DASH a prime spot to fish. He has organized this derby for many years, an he wants to PARTICIPATE in it. Can’t blame him.  Maybe he’ll share his catch ?

If you notice, there are TWO locations this year and TWO DATES. Come fish at either or better yet BOTH !  Same rules apply, and food will be available. Harwood Lake is by Harwood Haven, which has accomodations. Give John a call, to get set up.
